[@seansherrod8725]

FOR THE RECORD… Alex is FUNKY AS ALL PHUCK with his double bass drum work on this version of “House of Pain”! Geezus Lord Almighty!!!

[@shawnc318]

He’s got that swing!!

[@rayfromvegas]

This was Eds best guitar sound. This was the Brown sound👍

[@nelsontolsdorf946]

yes it was!🔥

[@roderickgful]

Yeah, it changed on some of Fair Warning, then a little on 1984. The big change came in VanHagar😢

[@tommilitello198]

The brown sound was actually referring to Alex’s snare sound originally,not the guitar tone

[@peteyoung7665]

@@roderickgfulYeah a lot which is a good thing.This is a very thin guitar sound.Ed's worse guitar sound was on Diver Down.

If Alex was in any other band, he’d get a lot more recognition for being a kickass drummer!

What you’re hearing is genius in the making, as it was happening in the studio. The best drumming and guitar work you’ll ever hear.

[@kevinwilkins3248]

Sadly, there will never be another pair of musicians that can have the emotional impact on me that Alex and Edward do/did. GOAT.

[@briangabauer7834]

Hey this sounds like a Brand New album. This stuff should of been released in the 70's or the 80's. Hey better late than never.

[@tonyduran4293]

Well said!!

[@davidsthubbins176]

Yeah, House of Pain on 1984 pales in comparison to this demo version. It's so much heavier, I love it!

[@artysanmobile]

The key to Van Halen’s astounding sound, what catches your ear throughout, is Eddie’s phenomenal rhythm guitar playing. Impeccable meter, ingenious simplicity, and such perfectly crafted tone.

[@napoleonjones23]

Did you mug Ted????? Or did Donn finally get internet access? This is a crazy treasure trove!!!!

[@MrDuds1984]

Where is this stuff coming from? is Dave secretly releasing these through different outlets? Fucking amazing

[@e.l.norton]

@@donavonmacallister3101 Oh, I know. The members of this band have a genetic pre-disposition against releasing anything people want to hear, and making more money from it. It really is the most bizarre thing. I love Alex and Ed. But, man...these guys are the proverbial stubborn mules. I don't understand why.

[@1224Peterson]

[@tridadthlete]

My favorite part is the mistake at 18:48. Been listening (obsessing) over EVH for 30 years and this is the first time I've EVER heard him hit a bum note.

[@TheDmonet]

Apparently you didn't see the 2004 or 2008 tours. He hit a lot of bum notes on those tours. I'm obviously a fan of Eddie to be here, but idol worship to the point of believing things that aren't true is problematic. Like people saying Jimmy Page was flawless. Page played like shit live 75% of the time live.

[@jameyd4155]

But Eddie would’ve simply smiled and kept on rollin’. Sour note or not … Don’t stop the party!

[@lloydmunga4961]

And that's why this stuff wasn't released by the band and meant for listening by the general public

[@jamesburke1019]

Good catch, your 1st replier was a bitter man talking about tours that happened 25-30 years later but during the golden years yes that was probably his only bum note. The fact that there was only one of them is even more proof that he was the GOAT.

[@TheDmonet]

@jamesburke1019 When you pay good money for tickets and your former idol is too wasted to stand up during his solo, you have a reason to be "bitter", if bitter is the term you like to use for people who have been ripped off and voice their displeasure with it. The type of ass kissing we see here is exactly what enabled Ed to keep destroying himself for years and behaving terribly ....there were always suck ups around who just wanted to be around Eddie Van Halen. "yeah Ed, you're playing great! yeah ed, you don't look like a homeless ghoul with all the meth/crack you're doing!"

[@philipseitz3844]

Priceless I was 13 years old the first time I heard VH on the radio and the guitar tone was so big and massive that it jumped out of the speakers and grabbed you and wouldn’t let go. Then I watched my friend play ain’t talking about love on his vantage guitar and I was hooked I had to learn to play guitar. That was over 40 years ago and I have been playing in bands ever since but as anyone that has tried cop eddies brown sound it’s way more then just plugging in to an amp and playing the notes it’s his attitude and approach that makes Eddie so special. I feel sorry for anyone in this day age that never got that excitement of waiting in line at your local record store for the next vh album to drop.

Thank you Thunderdude for liberating these absolute gems. May I ask how you got these? I was in the VH trading community many years ago and gave up searching out VH stuff cause I thought maybe I had them all. These are absolute treasures. Thank you again.

[@bigbigy58]

Im not 100% on how these got out but im guessing when these were getting transferred to digital someone got them they have also been going around privately since early 2020 theres atleast 9 cd's worth of outtakes alone that AVH has. Theres gems out there man im pretty sure a low quality version of 1980 LARGO was being traded years and years ago but im not sure, we just have to hope alex puts the green light on it.

Okay I retract the comment that I made on another video posting about my head exploding if I could find the original version of “House of Pain”. What would REALLY make my head explode would be to find a version of “Believe Me”, “Eyes In The Night”, “Beer Drinkers and Hell Raiser’s”., and “Honolulu Baby”!!!

[@captainblaze4903]

If you listen to the band pre- VH I the first 4 albums were already conceptualized and then refined over time so when they got to the studio to lay down those tracks there was more than enough material to produce those first 4

[@Art-ks6uh]

House of pain is a masterpiece!

[@derekmeisner9439]

this is insanely good.

[@CraigParkerAdams]

ain't nothing like the source.

[@stevenculver6416]

The eddie rabbit hole is insane. How many other musicians built the sound from scratch that he had inside his head. That equation is never going to be solved no matter how many try. The wizardry he accomplished is mind boggling. Name another player who developed a sound beforehand with what he heard in his head before ever knowing how to do it. He tuned his amps like a muscle car with raw horsepower with a restrictor plate like a Nascar. His volume knob was the gas and the fretboard his steering wheel. And of course his magical fingers knew how to manipulate the tone...

[@jerrydeluca]

This is RAW as fuck. No words to describe. Im lost and will not be found… life is over and am I dead and in heaven or is this Eddie’s plan…👑 What a talent.
